Don't forget that we shall have
our -four mill in first class order in a
few days for making -four. Boiling
cloths all new will be pot in order
by a first class mill man who las
made it business to manufacture

public. He will be with us for some
time and will look after -four depart

Of dour and good yield. But you
must clean your wheat by tanning it
out before bringing it to mill. We
can not fan your wheat, you must do
this before coming to mill. We can
not and will not ruin our smelter
and boiling cloths by attempting to
do for our wheat what you ought to
do for it before you leave home. And
besides neither we nor any other mill
er can make good -four and give a
good yield out of dirty bad wheat. w c
want and hope to grind all the wheat
within fifteen miles of Scotland

give satisfaction. Remember we

Outlook Good.

Although we have ND business
booms in this county, the outlook
for the future was never brighter.
We are some over halfa century old,
and we have never seen the crop
prospects brighter at this season of
the year. Our people did not use
more than half the money value of
guanos and phosphate this year as
heretofore. Their crops are far let
ter than usual, and if they had net
used any commercial fertilizers, the
crops would have been much better.
We took bag of acid phosphate
and spread it on ten feet square,
and We have watched the spot from

DON'T CUTOUR WIRE FENCE

We think some people had b,tter
attend to their own business and let
other people alone and they VIII
have enough to do all their

We rode three miles around the
fence one day last week and found

seven different places. What cons

malicious devilish and mean ss to
deliberately cut our fence is beyond
our comprehension. If the fence is
cut TO let your stock in, please take
your stock around to the gate and
turn it in and mark it so YOU car

fer this to having the fence cut. We
would prefer TO give free pasture tC

Truth Plainly Expressed.

In qualifications for the Executive
Office OF this nation Mr.. Hill has as
excellent claims as Mr.. Cleveland.
If undisguised devotion to his party
is recommendation, then Mr.. Hill
has superior claims to consideration
in the next Democratic Convention,
and the Cleveland forces had better
make up their minds to cease talking
about Mr.. Hill in the light OF sscri-
fee to Mr.. Cleveland's amhitlon.-

THE sun CHOLERA MIXTURE.

"More than forty years ago says
the New York JO'rn0L of commerce,
"whcn it was found that prevention
for Asiatic cholera wis easier than
cure the learned doctors of both
hemispheres drew up a prescription,
which was published (for the works
ing people, in the New York 81"
and took the name of The Sun
Cholera Mixture" Oar contempo-
tary never lent its name to better
article. We think it the best RENE
dy for 10 )scness of the bowels ever
yet devised. 1t is to be commended
for several reasons. 1t is not to he
used with liquor, an therefore will
not be used as all alcoholic beverage.
Its ingredients are well known
among all the common people, and
it will have no prejudice to combat
Each of the materials are in equal
proportion to the others and 1t
therefore may be compounded with
out professional skill and as the dose
is very small it may be carried in
a tiny viol in the waistcoat pocket,
amt be always at hand. 1t is =:
Tinct, opii, copscia, rehi Co, menth
pip, camphe.
Mix the above in equal ports.
Dose, ten to thirty drops. Ia plain
terms, take equal parts tlncture of
opium, red pepper, PhenGost, pepper
mint and camphOr and mix them for
use. In case Of diarrhea take a
dose Of twenty drops in three Or
! four teaspoOnsful of water. No one
who has this by him and takes it in
/ time, will ever have the cholera
We recommend it to our Western
friends and hope that the recipe will
be published. Even if no cholera
is anticipated, it is an excellent
remedy for ordinary Summer com
/ plant" which is now becoming so
fatal among both young and old.
We can fully endorse the remarks
of the editor Of the Journal Of Com
MERGE in reference to excellence OF
the abote remedy. Many years ago
when the Office of the Scientific
American was in tue Sun building
Fulton Street, the cholera prevailed
to an alarming extent. The remedy
was then employed at the Sun office
:. for treatment of compositors, press
men, carriers. news boys, or who ev
er happend to be in that neighbor>
hood, and the number of cases was
quite large.
The remedy was always used will
success if administered in time, anC
we then formed high opinion o
its value. It is now well know
among the druggists here, AMI by
most of them kept for sale.-Sciea

after these boomS. We have thought
about them. We have looked for
them, but all in vain. We would
like to see a boom outside of town
and inside the country. We would
rejoice exceedingly to see business
boom among the farmers as well as
among the bankers, spectators,
merchants and manufacturers. We

Governor Hill IS, in both princi-

alive temperance man in the State
of New York. Without being a total

kind, Rarely, at public table, or on

puE COMPENSATION.

An important case, growing out of the
liquor law Of Kansas, was
argued before the Supreme Court Of the
United States few days ago. There is
much confusion In the public mind about
the case,hence we deem itproper to make
a brief statement of e. Il lnvolves the
coastltullonallsy Of Section g Of the pro.
hibltory liquor law Of Kansas, which de.
clares that aall places whore Intoxicating
liquors are manufactured, sold, bartered or
given away In violation OF any OF the pro-
visions OF this act, are hereby declar-
cd to be common nulsances." II will be
seen from this that the case does not af
feet the question of the right OF a state to
prohibit the manufacture, sale or giving
away splrituons liquors, but raises the ques.
tlon whether state can destroy the value
Of property OF brewers and manufacturers
of liquors by the passage Of aprohibitory
law as quoted above without making due
compensation for the property destroyed.
II tAe Supreme Court should confirm the
decision OF the lower court, (which We
think It will probably dol that state Is
liable for all property thus rendered value
less, then the status Of the matter would
be that a state would have the power Ia
prohibitby law, the manufacture and sale
of ardent spirits, but such law 70 be con-
stitutional must have provisions whereby
the state shall pay reasonable sum for
the property rendered valueless by the
passage and enforcement of such law. II
will thus be seen that while prohibition
lists would not lose their ease II the Su'
preme Court should affirm the decision oi
the lower court.yet such aiiirmance would
very materially weaken their cause, as u
would carry with It the necessity of tax
ing the people to compensate for property
rendered valueless by the enforcement oi
such law.

BIZ CAREFUL

II Is matter OF regret that there Is no
law to punish the swindling scoundrels
who traversed the county last week, and,
through a cunningly-devised cheating
scheme, swindled many unsuspecting
farmers out of hundreds of dollars. But
farmers are very much to blame for list
ening TO smooth-tongued strangers and
allowing themselves TO be gulled by such
shrewdIy-concocted schemes as these
swindlers used to bsit them with. II our
best aud most favorably known business
men should 60 out among farmers with
the kind of proposition used by these
swindlers, the matter would be fully In
veStigated, and properly too,by our farm
ers before they would bite at such treach-
erous bait. Then why not be equally
careful and guarded with strangers

This action Is writ of review brought
by the appellant to review the action Of
the Board Of Equalization of Multnomah
county,in refusing to allow certain claims
for reduction Of assessment on account
of indebtedness. The appeal is from the
judgment of the Circuit Court affirming
the decision Of the Board. The judgment
Is affirmed () because the claim Of the
plaintiff for reduction of assessment was
not sworn or especially detailed in accord
ance with the statute. (s) The county and
not the Board, should be the defendant
In the course Of the opinion Judge Lord
says
"The original list shows that the plain
tiff had fraction over $4,000 taxable
property according to its own sworn state
ment, and that i had only been assessed
for about half that amount--$7oooo, or
fifty per cent on the amount admitted to
be subject to taxation. On what principle
or by authority Of what law this mode Of
taxation is authorized orpermitted we are
unable to discover or to understand. In
this respect the assessment certainly af-

RANKING LEGISLATION.

A movement will be made at the next

will provide fer the issue Of q bank circu.
